Natural Changes
Significant rocks and gravel exposed/deposited at NW 30th in front of Surftides Motel, Lincoln City. Some huge (4'-8') rocks where there were no rocks before. Some have been washed back but some remain after almost 2 weeks. And, last 2 weeks, large slabs of rock were exposed at the tide line closer to bank than I've seen in over 8 years. Sand level is about 6' lower and exposing steps and borders at the cliff that had been covered before.
